Re: Will there really be an A99ii
Ahoy! Whilst I cannot answer the question from the OP, plus I don't use SLT, it's basically a fairly simple choice. If like myself, you're a FF shooter (this may also apply to APS-C 3 digit Alpha shooters who also prefer the OVF format), we can either migrate to SLT or simply go to another brand who...

Why not use in APS-C mode?
Hello all, I have had a look at a Tamron 18-270 lens which would fit my a700 and was just wondering if there is something similar for the a900 Full Frame. I t would used mainly for action shots of animals in action, near and far, hence the range. Thanks Ahoy! Well, the A850/A900 are dual format cam...

Alpha Universe Site
Ahoy! I found a link on another forum about Alpha Universe and having taken a look, it seems like you can link to it through various methods such as Facebook, **Twitter and other account types. You can post images to their Facebook page (max 2 per day), so it seems to allow you to extend your online...

Re: Camera Repair Workshop - UK ex-Minolta team
Hi Just wondered if we have an update? Noticed the site isn't the greatest and the blog hasn't been updated in a year. Still going? CRW are still going and you just need to call them as this is their preferred method. You can also access their Facebook site which is administered by his wife, but sh...

How to get RAW quality JPEGs from A700/A850/A900: Read On
I posted this on another forum. The good stuff starts on P2, so read each post (sub menu images have also been posted later in the thread) as it can be applied to all 3 bodies as they share the same sub-menu settings. If you don't already have these settings input as standard for your JPEG format, I...

Re: Camera Repair Workshop - UK ex-Minolta team
CRW's website: http://www.camerarepairworkshop.co.uk/ Check offers for sensor cleaning. Dave is your man there (nice bloke and most helpful). They will repair if they can source parts (if required), but since Sony pulled the plug on Minolta 5D & 7D FFB issues (for example), they have no parts fo...

Delta DRF-14 S Macro Ring-Flash
I have a very nice boxed complete copy of the Delta DRF-14 S if anyone is after one. I've just listed it on the Bay and Brazilian jungle websites, but can pull it if necessary. Works a treat though as yet unlisted in the PCA classifieds, so this is just a bit of heads-up. FYI, there's a bit of a wri...

How To Get A 1.5x Magnification Boost With Your A850/A900
Ahoy! THE PRE-AMBLE: Well, as I'm sure all of you A850/A900 owners know, there's an A700 inside your FF body AND contrary to reports I've read, I can use all DC Sigma lenses on my A850 as well as others such as Tamron 17-50 F/2.8. Now as you'll know, setting the format to APS-C means you can take im...

Re: Minolta Ringflash vs Sony Twin Flash for Butterfly Macro
If you want a dedicated ring flash then get a Delta DRF-14 S from Foto-Tip via evilBay ( Item: 110488893805 ). I have one for my A850/Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 1:1 Di Macro and it works perfectly. It's a re-branded Marumi. No need to spend silly money. They sometimes come up for around £25.00 (used bu...

Re: Say hello to 'Gizmo' - our new Chihuahua
Excellent details. I like the second one quite a bit. Sury Hi Sury, Thanks, but these are just a couple of a short series taken. Others are on my FB page in his own photo album. They're just a few snaps of him (looks like Yoda), so not 'formal' photo's, but it was the first time I've used the lens ...
